New chapter everyone :) 

CHAPTER SIX

THE RV

“MOVE MOVE! Don’t let those bastards cut through!” A marine dropped dead with a loud thud as plasma burned through his face. “Crap, cover the left flank!” A group of marines responded to this by crouching behind a charred pile of corpses and firing over them. “Good job, now get rid of that Elite!”

An Elite had broken through with a group of wide eyed, squealing Grunt’s. The Grunts were firing in every direction. The Elite had chosen to concentrate his fire. But in the end it didn’t save him as he and his Grunt squad were riddled with bullets. Before the Elite died, he rolled a plasma grenade at a wounded and disabled marine and the medic helping him. The medic ran and tried to drag the marine along with him. The grenade detonated and ripped the marines legs off. The medic dropped him as he was sliced in half by plasma fire.

“Men, reinforce the centre, only a few more of them to hold off!” The Commander fired his sniper and blew the head off a Jackal. The grunts around it flinched and ran as they were covered in its blood. He fired another round and blasted an Elite straight through the chest. It exited through his back and hit a grunt in the face. Hot ***! Two with one shot!. He fired another shot, it blew a grunts head up like a melon. He fired the last bullet in his magazine and blew a jackals leg off. He reloaded and continued his sniping.

“Men, fall back to position Bravo, you are being overrun!” A marine was grappling with a Jackal for his gun, the Jackal kicked the marine and aimed the gun at his face. The Jackal was knocked back suddenly as blood sprayed from a gaping hole in it’s chest. The Commander was sniping. He had saved Ahmeds life. Ahmed stood back up, hefted his AR and fell back with the rest of the 200 marines left. There was mass chaos as the survivors fled up the hill en masse. Many of the marines furthest back were being cut down by heavy torrents of plasma. The Commander however continued to snipe as many targets as he could find. At the top of the hill, the small bunkers were put to good use. The turrets inside them were a good defence against the incoming covenant onslaught. An Elite was shot through the throat by a sniper round. Now the covenant had come up the hill, they were an excellent target for the Alpha squad sniper Gavin. The covenant only had about 200 troops left now. The turrets and the waiting marines cut down anything that poked it’s head over the hill and the sniper’s were eagerly popping heads of multiple aliens. The roar of pelicans descended over the battlefield. The pelican’s opened up with their chin turrets and pushed the covenant back heavily. They were dwindling fast. Then eventually the only sounds that could be heard were the calls of the dying and wounded. Another battle won. Ahmed threw his helmet up into the air and smiled broadly. Solus was safe. Only a few thousand covenant remained. After the fleet was destroyed the covenant had no supplies or reinforcements. They would save this planet.
